Xrays: Xrays images can determine whether bones can be broken. Xrays, like the light that your eyes can see, are a from of energy that travels in waves. Although the energy in the waves passes through some living tissue, it dose not pass through bone. Before an Xray image is taken, a lead apron is placed on your body to protect you from unnecessary exposure to Xrays. Photographic flim is placed under the area to be viewed. Then a machine that emits a beam of X-rays is aimed at the area. MRI:In 1970, a new method for taking of clear images of both the bones and soft tissues of the body was developed. This method is called magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI. An MRI
